The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has refuted claims that he is planning to unseat Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
The monarch spoke on Tuesday in a statement issued by his media aide, Adeola Oloko, after the allegation against him went viral.
Oba Ladoja described the claim as false and misleading.
The statement said: “You don’t have to be a former governor or a distinguished senator to know that a monarch has no power to impeach a local government chairman, not to talk of a state governor.
“This becomes intriguing, considering that less than 24 hours ago, the former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, alleged a purported plot by the state governor to remove the Olubadan.
